This 2022, once again, we have participated in ACHEMA, the most important European event for the process industry, especially for the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. After having suffered several cancellations and date changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this long-awaited event has been held. The chosen dates were between August 22 and 26, in Frankfurt, Germany. All the participants, exhibitors and visitors have agreed that this selection of dates wasn’t well suited, especially for visitors from the south of Europe. Our presence in ACHEMA Our stand was in the Hall 8 of the Exhibition Centre Frankfurt, focused on pumps, compressors…

The mechanical seal is one of the most important elements in any environment that will require an optimal sealing in transfer of a fluid. Majority of industrial machinery has equipments such as compressors or pumps. These equipments are prone to leaking fluids that lead to a decrease in efficiency or even to a breakdown. As experts in mechanical seals and products associated with the industry, at Lidering we dedicate a large part of our efforts to perfectly understand the behavior of these elements in order to satisfy the most demanding needs of our customers. The purpose of this introduction is…

Every two years, Exposolidos fair takes place in Cornellà de Llobregat and l’Hospitalet. We are pleased to announce that this year, Lidering will attend the 10th edition from the 10th to the 12th of May 2022. The congress will be distributed in two centers: la Farga de l’Hospitalet and la Fira de Cornellà In the last one, we will expose on the STAND E359 / F359. This event about Technology and Solid processing, is the main congress from southern Europe, specialized in manipulation and processing of solids, bulk materials, dry powders, semi-solids and separation of solids and liquids. Our goal in…

In the article posted today, we are going to pay special attention to one of the essential element of mechanical seals: the spring. This compound is responsible of many aspects extremely important for the right performance of the seal and, by extension, must be the object of attention and evaluation. Specific coating treatments are one of the main points to maintain a good state of the spring and, by extension, to extend the service life of the mechanical seal. There is a large variety of industrial treatments for springs of mechanical seals so choosing the appropriate solution is a matter…

From the sterilization of the elements – necessary and crucial in the food and pharmaceutical industry – to the great part of specific process in the oil sector… In the industrial field, there are some common and different applications that require working with substances at high temperatures. Regardless the field we concern about, when working at high temperatures, it is required to pay special attention in term of both design and manufacture of the sealing elements included in the specific machinery or equipment. Below we present some of our sealing solutions intended for these environments of maximum exigency. Our seals…

Mechanical seals in contact with food must meet the demanding standards applicable to the sector, such as the FDA or EC 1935/2004 as two of the most relevant. How do these certifications apply to mechanical seals? EC 1935/2004 Compliance is obligatory, and it controls the transfer of substances from the materials from which the mechanical seal has been manufactured to the product with which it is in contact (milk, juice, chocolate, jams, etc.). The aim is to guarantee that all materials in contact with food are safe and meet the same quality requirements. FDA (Food & Drug Administration) The North…

In order for a mechanical seal to work correctly, it is essential to guarantee adequate lubrication and refrigeration. In some applications, this is achieved thanks to the use of a secondary fluid, when the primary fluid does not possess the necessary properties. The provision of this additional fluid involves the inclusion of a secondary circuit, which may be open or closed, and may or may not be under pressure. In the case of opting for an open circuit, the complexity and installation costs are very low, but fluid consumption (usually mains supply water) can become a problem, above all due…

The pharmaceutical industry is a sector that is currently on the rise and requires specific highly demanding solutions regarding safety and reliability, especially with high hygienic levels. With respect to mechanical seals, it is necessary to employ special designs and suitable materials. At Lidering, we have vast experience in the pharmaceutical sector, applying hygienic designs developed in accordance with EHEDG guidelines. With respect to materials, we use materials of the highest quality in order to meet CIP / SIP cleaning requirements. Our mechanical seal solutions meet the main certifications for the sector, such as the FDA, NSF, EC1935, WRAS, etc….
